King Charles spotted for first time since disgraced Prince Andrew gave up titles | Royal | News

King Charles has been snapped heading out in public for the first time since Andrew gave up his titles. The UK monarch was spotted heading out as a passenger in a dark car.

Disgraced Andrew had to forfeit his royal titles after it was revealed he had lied about cutting ties with Jeffrey Epstein. The King reportedly reached “tipping point” with his brother over the sex abuse scandal and carried out negotiations this week.

It is understood that Prince William and other members of the royal Family played a role in the final decision that Andrew would give up his titles.

Andrew, after being “forcibly pushed onto his sword” by the King, gave up his Duke of York title on Friday, October 17.

Now, two days later, the King has been seen arriving at Crathie Kirk church near Balmoral for the morning Sunday service.

Calls for the monarch to also strip Andrew of his prince title are being made, and it is understood that Prince William will ban his uncle from his coronation and Christmas gatherings once he is king, The Sun reports.

Insiders claim that William is not happy with the disgraced royal giving up his title, and it is likely the “Andrew problem” will continue.

In regards to Andrew’s daughters, Beatrice, and Eugenie, royal sources said that they will remain princesses in the same way he remains a prince – titles they are born with.

The removal of Prince Andrew‘s titles would have an impact on the princesses’ rights to use their titles, and therefore, it is claimed that the King was “protecting” his nieces by not stripping Andrew of his.

Despite Andrew receiving marching orders, he will be allowed to continue living at Royal Lodge in Windsor, due to his “cast-iron” tenancy agreement until 2078.

Though it is understood that the King and his eldest son want to get the former duke out of the mansion, which is just a few miles from Windsor Castle and half a mile from Prince William and Princess Kate’s new home, Forest Lodge.

Andrew was made Duke of York on the day of his wedding to Sarah Ferguson on July 23, 1986. The title was given to him by the late Queen Elizabeth II, and royal experts later claim it was good that the late Queen didn’t live to see Andrew’s downfall.

On April 12, 2021, a Knoxville police officer shot and killed an African American male student in a bathroom at Austin-East High School. The incident caused social unrest, and community members began demanding transparency about the shooting, including the release of the officer’s body camera video. On the evening of April 19, 2021, the Defendant and a group of protestors entered the Knoxville City-County Building during a Knox County Commission meeting. The Defendant activated the siren on a bullhorn and spoke through the bullhorn to demand release of the video. Uniformed police officers quickly escorted her and six other individuals out of the building and arrested them for disrupting the meeting. The court upheld defendants’ conviction for “disrupting a lawful meeting,” defined as “with the intent to prevent [a] gathering, … substantially obstruct[ing] or interfere[ing] with the meeting, procession, or gathering by physical action or verbal utterance.” Taken in the light most favorable to the State, the evidence shows that the Defendant posted on Facebook the day before the meeting and the day of the meeting that the protestors were going to “shut down” the meeting. During the meeting, the Defendant used a bullhorn to activate a siren for approximately twenty seconds. Witnesses at trial described the siren as “loud,” “high-pitched,” and “alarming.” Commissioner Jay called for “Officers,” and the Defendant stated through the bullhorn, “Knox County Commission, your meeting is over.” Commissioner Jay tried to bring the meeting back into order by banging his gavel, but the Defendant continued speaking through the bullhorn. Even when officers grabbed her and began escorting her out of the Large Assembly Room, she continued to disrupt the meeting by yelling for the officers to take their hands off her and by repeatedly calling them “murderers.” Commissioner Jay called a ten-minute recess during the incident, telling the jury that it was “virtually impossible” to continue the meeting during the Defendant’s disruption. The Defendant herself testified that the purpose of attending the meeting was to disrupt the Commission’s agenda and to force the Commission to prioritize its discussion on the school shooting. Although the duration of the disruption was about ninety seconds, the jury was able to view multiple videos of the incident and concluded that the Defendant substantially obstructed or interfered with the meeting. The evidence is sufficient to support the Defendant’s conviction. Defendant also claimed the statute was “unconstitutionally vague as applied to her because the statute does not state that it includes government meetings,” but the appellate court concluded that she had waived the argument by not raising it adequately below. Sean F. McDermott, Molly T. Martin, and Franklin Ammons, Assistant District Attorneys General, represent the state.
